I stepped outside in early autumn 
It was cold enough to see my breath 
Felt a hole so deep couldn’t see the bottom 
Couldn’t appreciate its breadth 

Bitter memories and old regrets 
Seized upon me like a stealthy mugger 
Seems a part of me never forgets 
And overtime the terrain can just get rougher 

Chorus: 
Almost forgot the most important thing 
Almost forgot the one thing I know is true 
Almost forgot the reason I still sing 
Almost forgot that I’ll always have you 

Winter fell and the days just got more bleak 
The wind so cold I felt it in my heart 
I couldn’t even find the words to speak 
Or so many words didn’t know which word should start 

Chorus 

When spring came and the robin sang 
Something within me sprang 
Love like a new and growing chute 
The sky is blue but I am not 
For I know what I have got 
I know that I’ve got you to pull me through 

So hug me like the summer, don’t let go 
Let your sunshine penetrate my mind 
Let me feel your warmth from head to toe 
I’ll be your summer and you will be mine 

And I won’t forget the most important thing 
I won’t forget the one thing I know is true 
I won’t forget the reason that I sing 
Because I know I always have you
